Pasadena Humane Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run Closes Street Sunday

A stretch of Seco Street between Arroyo Boulevard and Rosemont Avenue will be closed to traffic on Sunday, April 21 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. for the annual Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, the major fundraising event for the Pasadena Humane Society.

According to the city, westbound traffic on Seco St. will be detoured onto Rosemont Ave., and eastbound traffic on Seco St. will be detoured south onto Arroyo Blvd.

The charity walk and 5K run, which attracts hundreds of participants and their canine companions each year, will take place at nearby Brookside Park. Proceeds from the event support Pasadena Humane’s animal welfare programs, including foster care, a kitten nursery, wildlife rehabilitation, and more.

According to Pasadena Humane, the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run is critically important to the organization, serving as a major source of funding for its lifesaving programs. The event’s success helps the 121-year-old nonprofit continue its mission to provide care and support for thousands of animals in the community each year.

During the road closure, westbound traffic on Seco Street will be detoured onto Rosemont Avenue, while eastbound vehicles will be rerouted south onto Arroyo Boulevard. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible on Sunday morning during the affected hours.

In addition to the walk and run around the Rose Bowl, the event will feature a vendor village with giveaways, a dog costume contest, an agility course, and other family-friendly activities. Participants can register individually or as a team, with a minimum donation of $50 required.

Pasadena Humane, founded in 1903, is a comprehensive animal welfare organization offering adoptions, veterinary care, dog training, and community assistance programs. Each year, it provides services to improve the lives of animals and their human companions across the greater Los Angeles County area.
